Get the adidas Good Year or Porsche Design driving shoes. They are great for driving and styling and not too expensive. Super comfy. My Good Years even have some carbon fiber inlays on the heel.

I work for adidas...

 

cool thread. I was considering buying a pair of shoes (just for driving my MINI). I've got real wide feet, and my shoes (and cowboy boots) can make trouble if I go a little spirited on the driving. So if I can find the thinnest pair of shoes that'll fit my wide foot, and will grip the pedals too, I'll be happy.

 

Another vote for Asics Onitsuka Tigers, Mexico 66 style



Thin-soled and super light, so great pedal feel. Not too bad as a regular pair of sneakers, either.

BTW MINI sells their own version of the Onitsuka Tiger with rolled heels for heel-toe craziness (they call em' Clubman shoes due to the hot chocolate color). They're also mad expensive.

 

I find these to be the most comfortable shoes to drive with.

 

Summer it's always a pair of Dunham hiking sandals, comfy safe and not too ugly... winter I like New Balance centennials, but they don't make em anymore. They were all brown leather, comfy and sharp enough for casual dress. They wear quickly so I'm looking for another pair. I really want some Ugg slipons but I got wide feet!

 

Puma motorsport FTW!

Yeah, they're sort of driving shoes... But I wear them all the time anyway! Even got me some Ferrari Replicats!

 

Pumas are OK...I have a pair of suede ones.

But my adidas rule!

Thin enough to feel the pedals, especially at the edges of the shoe for heel/toe work. Thick enough in the right places to be comfortable walking around. I've even used them to run on a treadmill at the gym while traveling as they're quite light and pack very flat/compactly for travel.

 

driving shoes eh, i've seen driving gloves. What's next, driving underwear?

i like to drive in shox , gives me a higher tilt-angle with my heel

 

^ What about nomex? That could count as driving underwear - especially if you fear your car could burst into flames at any moment...

 

Where do you buy these? Online stores show them at $75 which seems mega expensive. I like them if they were cheaper.

 

Yikes, you saw them for $75? That's actually pretty cheap for the Tigers . Zappos has a sale right now on certain colors for $70, but that's about the best price I've seen them around. They usually don't go on sale at all.

I will say this much - I feel it is $75 well spent. The alternatives out there seem to be the Piloti and the Pumas, but they're all in the same price range.

 

the Adidas good years are ok, but im a huge fan pf the puma driving shoes. i wear them every day, and they are also great for playing soccer in
(not to mention when im not wearing sandals or dress shoes that nothing besides puma has touched my feet in 5 years (including cleats )
puma also makes all the team ferrari shoes.. but im not a fan of the red cause i couldnt wear em everyday.
currently these are my fav. for driving
